Weinberg&lt;/a&gt;撰写，一本针对咨询顾问的工具书。书中诸多生动但浅显的法则、定理能够为初入咨询行业的顾问们提供与客户交流和服务，并且避免冲突的有效建议，并配合小情节，是这些法则更有意义。其中的折中法则，和信任法则都留给我挺深的印象。 　　 　　&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;但作为一本中文版本，该书的确乏善可陈。抱这这本书，我很难有兴致读上30分钟以上，很大的原因是译者并没有抱着“翻译一本书就是重新将其写作”的心态。书中的故事情节太多，生硬的翻译连英语中的逻辑都原封不动的保留，很难和我的胃口，也使得条理稍显混乱。另外，作者在论述一个法则时采用了太多的故事情节作为铺垫，译者没有适当翻译在其一，作者本人的情节冗长在其二。 　　 　　&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;另外，该书顶多只能够算上点子书籍——给读者们一些启发倒是不错，却很难称得上一本系统的书籍&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'

Kitty，有趣的漫画书，让年轻人痴迷的“灌篮高手”，时不时耳边听到的“武士道精神”，上海街头女生日本式的装扮和举止，奔驰在中国立交桥上的丰田和凌志，口袋里的Sony随身听，电视机旁的Play Station 2，哦，等等，现在是Play Station 3，还有Wii......，这些都是日本从战后崛起至今的文化和高科技产物，已经让中国年轻的一代人在心中留下了与中国上几代人关于日本的、截然不同的形象。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;然而对于大多数中国人，弹丸之地的日本，曾经是中华大国的附属国的邻邦，如今给国人甚至世界留下的，都是难以辨清的形象——尚礼却好斗、爱美又黩武、善与恶似乎糅合于一身。他们恭敬有理，却能够在2次世界大战中扮演杀戮者，他们看似自卑，却又自大。相对于美国和欧洲“列强”，对于共存于一个大洲的日本，我们了解他们多少？&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;谁是日本人？&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;关于日本人，国人有很多笑话：武大郎几经颠簸来到日本，成为了五短身材的日本人的祖先，并且以炊饼的形状定下了日本国旗；或者说，秦朝和唐朝时期流亡于日本的中国人，成为了大和民族的祖宗。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;如果随便调侃，到是可以，可是想要了解日本，劝大家忘了这些说法。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;“大和时代”是在公园4世纪的时候，由位于本州中部的奈良平原上的大和国建立的。他们公园5世纪的时候基本统一了日本，并成为现今大和国的基础。早期还不懂文字为何物的日本人，学习了亚洲大陆的文化和文字，接受了中华文明中看中政治团结的观念，并从道教中的“天皇大帝”中取“天皇”二字定位皇帝的称号。取“皇”，意为世俗领袖，取“天”则将其定位宗教的神圣领袖。直到二战以前，日本人还以为天皇是神的后代。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;儒家思想与武士道精神&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;儒家思想把不同阶层的人与人的关系梳理的非常清楚。而关键的一环便是君臣关系：臣子应对君主忠心不二。正是漂洋过海来到日本的儒家思想深深的影响了日本。日本的封建统治阶级利用儒家思想巩固自己的统治地位。而由各个领主家中的壮丁和打手演变而来的日本武士阶级正是受到这样的熏陶，对自己的主人和将军怀着绝对忠诚的心态，而牺牲小我。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;然而，武士的心灵总是处在忠君大义和自我表达的夹缝中承受巨大的压力——武士所需要的，不是被视作普通人，而是被认作以为以个人行动和勇武精神体现整个武士世界铮铮大义的特殊武士，却又必须终于君主。“武士，正是这两种力量纠结碰撞的产物”。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;团结，or die!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;在近代以前，日本缺乏姓氏制度，没有办法建立起以姓氏为依托的宗族制度，这让日本人只能凝聚在地方权力把持者周围，形成集团，为它效忠。四面环海，远离亚洲大陆，给日本人带来了自卑感的同时，也带来了强烈的忧患意识。他们知道只有绝对的团结，才能够生存——这种也正是如今的日本如此团结的原因。这种“岛国意识”随后发展成了日本人小我而大集体的集体精神——在集体中，个人的利益微不足道，集团的利益高于一切。个人必须无条件服从这个团队的精神，即使团队的目的是错误的，是有违人道的。这也恰恰能够解释，日本人在集体犯罪时会绝对服从：即使明知道犯下滔天大罪，大部分个人也会服从。 &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;集体犯罪，是日本人的原罪。日本的法西斯势力的膨胀，正是利用了这样的温床。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;拿来主义的典范&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;明明有大量的中文，日本人如今却坚决否认他们的文字源于中国。日本就是一个这样的国家，他们可以隐瞒诸如大屠杀之类的任何真相，因为他们有能力学习别人的，变为己用。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;日本明治维新期间，日本主张的“和混洋才”的观念主张一方面保持和民族固有的论礼道德观念，一方面积极培养西学人才。这就是为什么日本在大量学习和吸收西方科技的同时，仍然能够保留自己的文化核心。在学习外来科技的同时，只要保持民族论礼道德观，如何学习都不成问题，这正是日本能够比同时期也在学习西方文化的畏首畏尾的中国学习得更快得原因。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;也正是“岛国意识”，使日本人能够排除不需要的外来文化，这也能够解释日本即使收到大量的文化入侵，也能够保持自身特点（如忠于天皇）的原因。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;矫情，还是矫情&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;总会有人用交通比较中国人与日本人的不同：同样是人口稠密的日本，人们总是在公共场合井井有条，互相谦让。这样的评价，让喜欢用人口众多为交通混乱开脱的国人哑口。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;《大和魂——日本的根性窥探》一书为这样的行为找到了根源：日本人的矫情。日本是自始至终都是一个单一民族的国家，长期的共存，是的国人能够熟悉到用眼神交流的地步，这是在日本生活的外国人所不能的，也是长期在国外生活的日本人所不能的。除此之外，日本人也是一个不喜欢打破规则的民族——为了尽量让表面的平和继续，他们隐藏自己的不满，尽可能让自我意志融入到群体当中，矫情地对待大家。正是这样的心理，是的日本人小心翼翼，不让别人侵害自己，同样也尽量不侵害对方。这也能够解释，日本人“表里不一”的心态。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;无论日本是怎样的一个民族，无论中国人对他们有多少不满，日本人的拿来主义和团结的意识值得我们称道。本文只是抛砖引玉，推荐2本非常值得一读的书籍：&lt;a

/&gt;然后，站出来的是拥有任意球绝技的Pirlo和鬼魅的Inzaghi。Kaka的助攻，使得米兰的配合得以重现，使得灵巧的Inzaghi以典型的方式终结了Liverpool。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;上半场米兰只有2次射门却1进球，充分体现了强队把握机会的能力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;米兰是今年欧洲赛场当之无愧的王者。&lt;br

Milan的决赛气氛。今天早上装好的ESPN，恰恰就能够让我彻夜不休。冰箱的啤酒，就是等着今天被豪饮而尽。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不得不非常地羡慕欧洲的球迷们。他们拥有顶级的联赛，和超强的队伍，起码能够使他们得到足球上的满足。又或者，对于小球会来说，起码有良好的传统和一直流传下来的精神，能够让球迷们即使降级也照样是铁杆。这一点真的不像国内的球队，谁赞助了球队就是谁的名字，好像没有了祖宗。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;扯远了。决赛之前，大部分的足坛名宿似乎都认为米兰夺冠，不论从复仇的心态，还是整体实力来说。不过，如同两年前的决赛，以及很多其他运动的一样，热门的不代表应该的。怀着复仇的心态去参加决赛无疑是危险的，不是一支成熟的冠军球队应该拥有的心态。而且，AC Milan的战术经过几个赛季以后已经成形，而且一直沿用下来，相对于Liverpool，更加容易被对方了解。几年前的拉克鲁尼亚就是利用前场紧逼和围抢的方式让米兰喘不过气。不过，相信安帅和手下的22位虎将们，能够好好研究Liverpool的战术。今夜的Liverpool或许没有曼联那么好对付，但是相信以后几天我的梦是红黑色的。</content><link rel='replies'

type='html'>小区电梯的框架媒体的广告框不知道什么时候突然改成了LCD，还有声音，俨然就是一个多媒体的富媒体。似乎分众又要对广告的表现形式进行改良。不过现在的LCD并没有用来放广告，只是用来推广本身。比较有趣的是，到了深夜的时候如果有人进入电梯，LCD就会自动开启，然后声音、画面也都出现，好像沉默的电梯箱开始有人理睬你了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不过说来也烦，明明在电梯口等待电梯就被逼着要看音质不怎样的LCD广告了，现在上了电梯，感觉还没有下贼船。虽然我曾经对江南春说的，没有广告等电梯更无聊，表示过赞同，但是相信大家不禁要闻，谁给分众的权力？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;既然住在这里，物业费由业主掏，那么如果分众要“从此过”的话，是不是应该和我们商量商量，然后留下一点“买路财”什么的？其实这就是物权法在10月1日生效之后所要解决的问题，因为此前已经有有过几家广告公司，因为物业管理公司和业主拆除电梯广告而告上衙门的案例。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;那么物业管理公司和业主们有没有权力这么做呢？关于这种争议，物权法将会涉及：谁决定广告是否应该在小区内投放？投放合同应该如何起草，业主是否有权发言？因此发生的广告收入是否应该进行分配？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

about the real-name registration system proposed by the Ministry of Information System. Now the central government seems to loosen the crackdown on the blogosphere, meaning the need of enforcing the system has been deliberated. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB117934424740305282-FPekQ1bjvm9mu4jnB5h_Uk_IkLo_20070615.html?mod=tff_main_tff_top&quot;&gt;Wall Street Journey&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The Chinese government, which sees the online world as a conduit for slander, pornography and antigovernment views, believes the real-name system would force the Internet community to watch their words and actions. But the policy received sharp protests from the technology industry.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;But it is said that the government will still look for a broad control in a soft way: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Next month, Beijing is expected to rally industry players to sign a pact and promote the use of real-name registration, said Yang Junzuo,

/&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不论默老的收购能否得手，商业的收购只不过是股权的划分和权利的经手。而这些，都不能改变企业的老祖宗，和很难重塑一个优秀企业花费人们的青春所塑造出来的，让人崇尚的精神。</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'

/&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;默多克提出收购道琼斯。默多克看重的显然是道琼斯所拥有的《华尔街日报》的全球影响力以及这种影响力对新闻集团在全球经济和政治生活中日益显赫的地位进一步拉升的空间。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;汤普逊提出收购路透。两家公司的结合将使得它们有机会超过创始人已经其商从政了的澎博(Bloomberg)，成为全球第一大商业和财经资讯服务商。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;阿里巴巴要上市了。我们终于可以知道马云到底靠什么赚钱以及到底赚多少钱了。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;橡果国际已经上市了。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;传媒，并购扩张、强强联合已经习惯了。阿里巴巴终于要上市了，看来也有一部分人要富起来了。&lt;/p&gt;</content><link

/&gt;上一次有写得冲动得时候，是AC米兰以3-0的绝对比分和场面优势让曼联输的没了脾气的那晚，AC Milan得以再次挺进冠军杯决赛以雪2年前被翻盘的耻辱。那天AC Milan的表现真是对得住我这个不常熬夜看球的球迷。虽然相信AC会获得胜利，但是没有想到过程会是这么容易，这么享受，这么优雅，这么杀人不见血。我终于理解了，什么是温水煮青蛙式。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;或许在决赛场上，以雪耻和报仇来应对Liverpool，应该不是应有的态度。面对调度有方的Liverpool教练和一干身体强壮的英国人，AC Milan还是有隐患。而且单场比赛，没有2回合比赛那样留有观察对手的时间和翻盘的余地。所以，只有希望实力和运气都站在米兰这一边了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;热门的球队往往不会获得最后的胜利。曼联的7－1印证了这点，70、80年代的巴西队印证了这一点，06年世界杯的阿根廷印证了这一点，94年以0－4输给AC Milan的Barcelona也印证了这一点。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Milan, Forza Milan!</content><link rel='replies'

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;该书不是出自一人之手，而是编录了来自于各个国家的经济学精英发表的精辟文章。各位来自哈佛商学院、Morgan Stanley、Godman Sachs、复旦大学等组织和机构的经济学人士都对中国经济的过去和未来发表了自己的看法。到底中国是“崛起！”还是“崛起？”，中国的金融改革，贫富差距和能源等问题将去向何方，这些问题都能在书中得到阐述。难能可贵的是，书中有众多文章将中国和日本、印度，拉美等国家做了比较，以史为鉴，角度各有不同，而并非都是一成不变地谈及那么几个热点话题。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;上个星期偶然看到中央电视台对上海南京路上著名的永安商场的介绍，了解了这家百年老店的风风雨雨。其中还重点播出了对86岁高龄的杨嘉祐先生的采访。正是因为杨老，我们才能够看到更多关于永安的完整资料。也正是因为他，我才找到了寻找已久的《上海老房子的故事》。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;对于我来说，这是就是一本关于老上海建筑的“圣经”。得到之后，如获至宝，用“蹋破铁血无觅处，得来全不费功夫”来形容一点不为过，朋友看了也特别喜欢，所以以书相赠。十里洋厂的名立场，不论式哥特式的、巴洛克式的、还是文艺复兴式的，不论是英国人建的，还是犹太人设计的，几乎上海有名的老式建筑都被一并纳入。一个个都在这本400页的书上变成了有故事的“人”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

href=&quot;http://blog.earlzhang.com/&quot;&gt;张翼轸&lt;/a&gt;的博客我非常爱看，因为感觉此君观察和下笔都很细致。因为最近没有料可以写，所以之有outsource一篇他的文章《&lt;a href=&quot;关于可口可乐你不知道的10个秘密&quot;&gt;关于可口可乐你不知道的10个秘密&lt;/a&gt;》。但是选择这篇博客的目的是因为关于可口可乐的第8到第10条，如下：&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;芬达是德国纳粹发明的。&lt;strong&gt;假的。&lt;/strong&gt;芬达不是德国纳粹发明的，不过背景却与其有关。二次大战时，可口可乐德国分部因为禁运关系，难以得到可口可乐糖浆，因此就转而生产无需糖浆的饮料，并命名为芬达。没想到，芬达此后大获成功，也因此在二战结束后被美国总部引入，成为可口可乐旗下重要的产品线。 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;现代圣诞老人的造型是可口可乐发明的。&lt;strong&gt;假的。&lt;/strong&gt;大概是因为圣诞老人红白配色和可口可乐风格过于近似，所以会让人有这样的联想。的确。上个世纪四十年代，可口可乐的确用圣诞老人来进行冬季促销，但那时圣诞老人的造型已经大致定型。可口可乐铺天盖地的广告的确大大有利于圣诞老人形象的传播，但仅此而已。 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;只有两个人知道可口可乐的配方，并且每个人只知道一半。&lt;strong&gt;假的。&lt;/strong&gt;为了维持产品的吸引力，可口可乐的神秘配方一直是公司的宣传重点。的确，可口可乐的配方一直没有公开，并且锁在银行的保险箱里面，的确，公司只有两位官员被授权接触到这两份配方--但是并非只能各自接触一半，后面说的这种做法，肯德基倒是用过，它家的某种调料是在两个地方分别各自生产一半，然后到第三地混合在一起。 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;我一直以为圣诞老人红色的造型是因为可口可乐，而且连几位来自号称圣诞老人发源地——芬兰的人也如此认为。看来真的应该点击&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.earlzhang.com/urban-legends/483/&quot;&gt;这里&lt;/a&gt;，看看还有什么不知道的，可口可乐的“秘密”。&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'

type='html'>&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Sorry that I left my blog alone for nearly 2 weeks. Today I found a very nice summary for building relationships and gaining attentions (especially online), namely &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twlog.net/flexigility/3&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;10 things to remember about the attention economy&lt;/a&gt;&quot; by twdanny, as follows:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;You want to receive attention. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; You want to receive long-lasting attention. This is where a brand is born. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In order to receive long-lasting attention, you need to build trust. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Trust is built when relationships are formed. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Relationships are formed when conversations take place. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A true conversation is based on transparency. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The intrusion of money into the formula annihilates transparency. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Transparency is a son of authenticity. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Web, compared to other types of medium, is more likely to transfer authenticity through the use of links. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Authenticity, transparency, and conversations are possible only when you let go of control and first trust the other.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The author then introduced a powerful book about attention and conversation, named &lt;a href=&quot;http://cluetrain.com/book.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Cluetrain Manifasto&lt;/a&gt;, which now ranks #6 in Businessweek&#39;s list of 2000 business bestsellers and #9 in Amazon&#39;s list of 2000 business bestsellers. Moreover, luckily for all of us the entire book goes public online. Just click &lt;a href=&quot;http://cluetrain.com/book/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to read everything.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies'

href=&quot;http://adscorpio.iblog.com/post/4963/307650&quot;&gt;蝎眼兄&lt;/a&gt;(呵呵，这么简化称呼没什么问题吧，比较上口)看了上篇我&lt;a href=&quot;http://kewlchen.blogspot.com/2007/03/blog-post.html&quot;&gt;对苹果的微词&lt;/a&gt;，发表了不同意见。太谢谢了，本人真的希望有人参与讨论，可惜blogger不支持traceback，只能留言提醒了。&lt;a href=&quot;http://adscorpio.iblog.com/post/4963/307650&quot;&gt;蝎眼兄&lt;/a&gt;在他的《&lt;a href=&quot;http://adscorpio.iblog.com/post/4963/307650&quot;&gt;苹果广告，跟粗鲁没有关系&lt;/a&gt;》中，中肯地对苹果的广告失误做了评价。与他的意见相比，我的似乎更像是感情聊天节目中的万峰老师，更加喜欢当头棒喝，找找别人没有找到的茬儿，但绝对不是无事生非。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当今的消费这话语权大的出奇，比如以往的&lt;a href=&quot;http://kewlchen.blogspot.com/2007/01/blog-post_23.html&quot;&gt;星巴克的紫禁城事件&lt;/a&gt;，在国内的网上被讨论了无数回，也如同肯德基和耐克的争议广告一样。而苹果，这样的图腾式的创新公司，也应该为自己的广告失误付出代价。上次，本人所说的“忽略”和“不尊重”，并不特指消费者。其实，这是苹果骨子里流淌的东西，一种精神状态，就如同创新一样，都是根深蒂固的东西，一种舍我其谁的态度。只有这样的精神，才能够有苹果这样的公司。连普通的手机，都被iPhone的推出显得失色，无疑给了业界一种刺激。苹果用它天生的与众不同，把手机变成了人人欢呼的玩物。而为了保持这种不同，苹果必须“忽略”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而正是这样，难以相信现在人所皆知的全球广告投放原则会被苹果和手下的策划公司给忽略掉。Mac vs. PC的争议广告本就是敏感的话题，然而选择全球统一播放，自然会引起很多人不满。如果采取幽他一默的态度，那就更加需要仔细考虑各国不同的幽默特色了。或许是我有些偏激，但是苹果在广告中，并没有能过做到用美国式的幽默，把对PC的“鄙视”好好地藏起来。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KFC在新加坡有一个广告，是用来讽刺McDonald的，细节是KFC的员工接到一个神秘电话，询问炸鸡如此美味的秘密。而当KFC问起电话来源是，此人唯唯诺诺地留下一句“我姓麦”就匆匆挂断。这种讽刺不亚于苹果，但仅仅限于新加坡地区。当然还有很多可口可乐和百事互相讽刺的广告，都是在公司内部播出，似乎非常注意。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;如同我上次所说，Apple是认准了本身的特色，而希望让自己的形象宣传放之四海而皆准。这没有问题，但如果涉及到了对手的广告，放之四海就是粗放式的，却不一定能够起到宣传自己的作用。当我看到那些Mac vs. PC的广告之后，我想说的第一句话是“挺高笑的”，然后就是：PC之所以那么脆弱，暴露在病毒之下，是因为它远远比Mac出名。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我个人认为苹果是否粗鲁并不重要，苹果自己到底是否粗鲁我们无从知道，但问题是，在日本，已经有人认为这样的广告和幽默是无礼的，这才是苹果需要注意的。可以说，如今，我们说它无礼，它就是无礼的，谁让我们是消费者。</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'

align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Apple这样的字眼，可能比起水果应该更容易让人想起全球热卖的iPod，和来势汹汹的iPhone，也容易让人想起“创新”、“革命”、“颠覆”这些已经有些泛滥的词语。可是在这些簇拥和火热之后，真实的苹果却也和另外两个词联系在一起，那就是“忽略”和“缺乏尊重”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一个企业的性格和特点往往来自于老板的性格，国内的企业家都这么说。苹果自从1996年迎回曾经因为内部斗争而愤然离开的Steve Jobs之后，创新的篇章就不断的书写。从iMac，iBook，PowerBook，到一代接着一代的iPod和与之天下无双的iTunes，再到今年刚刚推出的iPhone，苹果注定了就是时尚、娱乐、性感、酷炫。Steve Jobs在1996接手Apple时，曾经在会议上脱了鞋，用脚丫子在对方的面前轻蔑、粗鲁地打着否认的手势，然后说：我们的产品出了问题，它们一点也不够性感。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;之后，Apple推出的产品就如同Steve要求的一样，性感而赚钱。Apple也如同产品一样性感而赚钱。Steve用了10年的时间不断证明自己的确能够&quot;Think Different&quot;，但是如果看了Wall Stree Journal中文网的&lt;a href=&quot;http://chinese.wsj.com/gb/20070305/ffe201338.asp?source=email&quot;&gt;苹果广告海外版无人喝彩&lt;/a&gt;，你会发现，Apple也如同Steve那样粗鲁，粗鲁在忽略了其他人，也对他们缺乏尊重。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;文章说：&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;苹果公司(Apple Inc.)在将其“苹果电脑PK个人电脑”(Mac vs. PC)系列广告推向全球市场时遭遇了一个难题：美国人认为滑稽有趣的情节在其他国家却可能显得粗鲁无礼。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/&quot;&gt;这里&lt;/a&gt;有Apple一系列的广告video。在日本，讽刺他人的缺点，炫耀自己的长处是被认为无礼的，是Apple没有注意到，还是为Apple做广告策划的TBWAChiatDay没有注意到，还是Apple不屑去注意。毫无疑问，Apple是认准了本身的特色，而希望让自己的形象宣传放之四海而皆准。这大概和现在全球市场上的宣传原则相背。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;听闻Apple的掌门人Steve Jobs从来没有来过中国，很难想象，又不难想象这样一位偏执的老头会不来拥有庞大市场的中国跑一趟。可能因为偏执才会有他性感的想象力，才会有许多中国企业家认定他为心中的目标，才会有他和Apple粗鲁的行为。&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies'

It&#39;s been a week that I haven&#39;t get my blog updated. One week can be a good gap to update a blog -- neither shorter nor longer works. There is a mess in my mind and nowadays I wasn&#39;t able to refresh myself but catching up workload left thanks to the Spring Festival. Maybe it&#39;s time to pay for it. &lt;/p&gt;But one thing now: there will be some changes to this blog. Because of some inconvenience constantly caused by the blog server, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.china-cbn.com/CBNBlogs/xichen80/&quot;&gt;the blog in China Business News &lt;/a&gt;(第一财经) will be the place where I post some ideas on the society, human being, life, religion, me, and so on (sounds a social scholar?), basically no business at all. At this blog will be business-only blog about marketing, IT, financial or any other thing alike.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reason to have two blogs is I really have something to say but it will be better to have different things in different places.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;If you are interested, please refer to the blog in CBN.

It is named &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughtsonmusic/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; xg=&quot;463&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thoughts on Music&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (A Chinese translated version is &lt;a href=&quot;http://chn.blogbeta.com/260.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) with which Steve Jobs expressed why he believes those ideas of, thinking Apple&#39;s iTunes + iPod model is monopolistic and dominating the market inappropriately, is actually inappropriate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many know that some European countries, such as Noway, have been lashing out at the model of iTunes online store + iPod, buffing that it caused unfair competitiveness. To fight back, Steve Jobs explained that the tie between iTunes and iPod is not something that Apple imposed. Instead, it is what the the world&#39;s top record labels ask Apple to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Steve, the reason is that:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Since Apple does not own or control any music itself, it must license the rights to distribute music from others, primarily the &quot;big four&quot; music companies: Universal, Sony BMG, Warner and EMI. These four companies control the distribution of over 70% of the world’s music. When Apple approached these companies to license their music to distribute legally over the Internet, they were extremely cautious and required Apple to protect their music from being illegally copied. The solution was to create a DRM system, which envelopes each song purchased from the iTunes store in special and secret software so that it cannot be played on unauthorized devices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;To prevent illegal copies, DRM systems must allow only authorized devices to play the protected music. If a copy of a DRM protected song is posted on the Internet, it should not be able to play on a downloader&#39;s computer or portable music device.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Steve Jobs argued that Sony and Microsoft are doing the same thing, making musics brought from their online stores, i.e. Sony&#39;s content Store and Microsoft Zune Store, to be playable only on their own devices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;He also listed out some solutions to change the status quo:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Apple to license its FairPlay DRM technology to current and future competitors with the goal of achieving interoperability &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;To abolish DRMs entirely. Imagine a world where every online store sells DRM-free music encoded in open licensable formats. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;He believes that abolishing the barrier completely is &quot;clearly the best alternative for consumers, and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;I reckon that Sony and Microsoft used to think about that too. But probably Apple&#39;s Steve Jobs is the only one who mused about how to &lt;a href=&quot;http://kewlchen.blogspot.com/2007/02/crazy-and-brave-jobs.html&quot;&gt;convince the record labels &lt;/a&gt;to break down the normative DRM rules, even if they thought that guy is flat-out silly. I guess Steve will continue working diligently on this further with inherent passion. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;It might be a great timing for Microsoft and Sony to join Apple to take on record labels?&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kewlchen.blogspot.com/feeds/4986903786371750814/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/2731196014508563643/4986903786371750814' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2731196014508563643/posts/default/4986903786371750814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2731196014508563643/posts/default/4986903786371750814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kewlchen.blogspot.com/2007/02/another-thought-on-music.html' title='Another thought on music'/><author><name>Benny</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16166137213294253975</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
